“Foliage” is a large, immersive close-up of a garden gone gloriously dense — leaves, stems, and small blooms filling the canvas from edge to edge with a restless, botanical energy. Scherer renders each leaf with surprising individuality, varying greens from deep teal to bright chartreuse, while flashes of orange, yellow, and soft pink punctuate the composition like scattered light. Planters and a loosely painted landscape recede in the background, grounding the scene without pulling focus from the lush tangle up front. The result is a painting that rewards time — the more you look, the more you find — dynamic, detailed, and alive with the particular pleasure of things growing without restraint.

Scherer studied with NW Master William Cumming, whom she met at the Art Institute of Seattle, in 1984. His influence was instrumental in her understanding of color, design and its use in painting. Amy passes along years of experience and wisdom to her own students now as well as pursuing her full time career as a professional artist in Washington State.
